The proanthocyanidin pool in the floral kingdom usually involves the presence of carbon-carbon bonds linking predominantly flavan-3-ol constituent moieties. Such an ensemble of flavan-3-ol units originates via electrophilic aromatic substitution of flavan-4-yl carbocations (or their equivalents) derived from flavan-4-ols and/or flavan-3,4-diols and the nucleophilic centers of the m-oxygenated A-rings of flavan-3-ol nucleophiles. In the absence of these potent flavan-3-ol nucleophiles with their aptitude for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds, alternative centers emerge as participants in interflavanyl bond formation. Such a phenomenon is demonstrated for the distribution of various profisetinidin-, prorobinetinidin-, proguibourtinidin-, promelacacinidin- and proteracacinidin-type pro- and leuco-anthocyanidins in several southern hemisphere heartwood species.
